Earcuffs have become a popular jewelry trend, blending versatility with style.
This guide will walk you through selecting the right side for your cuff and measuring your ear to get the best fit.
When purchasing an adjustable ear cuff made from steel wire, making sure it fits comfortably is key. These types of ear cuffs are designed to hug the cartilage snugly without being too tight or too loose.
Here’s how to measure your ear to ensure a great fit:
Find the Right Spot
- Before measuring, decide where on your ear you want the cuff to sit. The most common spots are the middle section of the ear, just above the lobe, or higher up on the cartilage.
- Use a Flexible Measuring Tape: A soft measuring tape, like the ones used for sewing, works best. Wrap it around the part of the ear where the cuff will sit to get a measurement in millimeters or inches.
- A a piece of string or thread if You Don’t Have a Measuring Tape. Wrap the string around your ear in the desired spot and mark the length. Then, measure the marked length against a ruler to get the exact size.
Measurement
- Small ear: 3,5 cm
- Medium ear: 4,5 cm
- Large ear: 5,5 cm
All earcuffs have added extra 0,5 cm for proper bending and comfortable fit.
And voila! Remember that you can always exchange a bought earcuff to size up or down after the purchase.
